Ehekiera 46

1 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Me tutaki te kuwaha o to roto marae e anga ana ki te rawhiti i nga ra mahi e ono; kia tuwhera ia i te hapati, kia tuwhera ano i te ra e kowhiti ai te marama.

Thus saith the Lord God; The gate that is in the inner court, that looks eastward, shall be shut the six working days; [but] let it be opened on the sabbath-day, and it shall be opened on the day of the new moon.

2 A ka tomo te rangatira ma te ara o te whakamahau o te kuwaha i waho, ka tu ai ki te pou o te kuwaha; katahi ka mahia e nga tohunga tana tahunga tinana, me ana whakahere mo te pai, hei te paepae ano o te kuwaha he koropikotanga mona; katahi ia ka puta atu ki waho; kauaka ia te kuwaha e tutakina a ahiahi noa.

And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of the inner gate, and shall stand at the entrance of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his whole-burnt-offerings and his peace-offerings, and he shall worship at the entrance of the gate: then shall he come forth; but the gate shall not be shut till evening.

3 Hei te tatau ano o taua kuwaha he koropikotanga mo te iwi o te whenua i nga hapati, i nga kowhititanga marama, ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

And the people of the land shall worship at the entrance of that gate, both on the sabbaths and at the new moons, before the Lord.

4 Na, ko te tahunga tinana e whakaherea e te rangatira ki a Ihowa hei te ra hapati, e ono nga reme he mea kahakore, he hipi toa, he mea kohakore.

And the prince shall offer whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord on the sabbath-day, six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish;

5 Ko te whakahere totokore, kia kotahi te epa mo te hipi toa, me to nga reme whakahere totokore, ko tana e taea te homai; kotahi te epa, kia kotahi ano hine hinu.

and a freewill-offering, a meat-offering for the ram, and a meat-offering for the lambs, the gift of his hand, and a hin of oil for the meat-offering.

6 Na i te ra e kowhiti ai te marama ko tetahi kuao puru, he mea kohakore, e ono nga reme, kotahi te hipi toa, he mea kohakore katoa.

And on the day of the new moon a calf without blemish, and six lambs, and there shall be a ram without blemish;

7 Kia rite ano i a ia he whakahere totokore, mo te puru, kia kotahi epa; mo te hipi toa, kia kotahi epa; ko to nga reme, ko ta tona ringa e tae atu ai; kotahi te epa, kia kotahi ano hine hinu.

and a meat-offering for the ram, and there shall be a meat-offering for the calf as a freewill-offering, and for the lambs, according as his hand can furnish, and [there shall be] a hin of oil for the cake.

8 Na e tomo te rangatira ki roto, me haere ia na te ara o te whakamahau o te kuwaha; hei to reira ara ano he putanga mona.

And when the prince goes in, he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and he shall go forth by the way of the gate.

9 Na e tomo te iwi o te whenua ki te aroaro o Ihowa i nga hakari nunui, ko te tangata i tomo na te ara o te kuwaha ki te raki ki te koropiko, hei te ara o te kuwaha ki te tonga he putanga mona; a, ko te tangata i tomo na te ara o te kuwaha ki te to nga, hei te ara o te kuwaha ki te raki he putanga mona: kaua ia e hoki na te ara o te kuwaha i tomo ai ia; engari me haere hangai atu.

And whenever the people of the land shall go in before the Lord at the feasts, he that goes in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go forth by the way of the south gate; and he that goes in by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the gate by which he entered, but he shall go forth opposite it.

10 Na, ko te rangatira, ina tomo ratou ki roto, hei waenganui ia i a ratou; a, ina puta ratou ki waho, me puta tahi ratou.

And the prince shall enter with them in the midst of them when they go in; and when they go forth, he shall go forth.

11 Na, ko te whakahere totokore i nga hakari, i nga whakanuinga, kotahi te epa ki te puru, kotahi te epa ki te hipi toa; ko to nga reme ano, ko te mea e taea e ia te homai; kia kotahi te hine hinu ki te epa.

And in the feasts and in the general assemblies the freewill oblation shall be a meat-offering for the calf, and a meat-offering for the ram, and for the lambs, as his hand can furnish, and a hin of oil for the meat-offering.

12 Na e mahia mai e te rangatira he tahunga tinana, he mea tuku noa mai, he whakahere ranei mo te pai, he mea tuku noa mai, hei mea ki a Ihowa, me whakatuwhera e etahi te kuwaha e anga ana ki te rawhiti ki a ia, a ka mahia e ia tana tahunga tinana, me ana whakahere mo te pai, kia rite ki tana mahinga i te ra o te hapati. Katahi ia ka puta ki waho, a ka tutakina te kuwaha ina puta ia.

And if the prince should prepare [as] a thanksgiving a whole-burnt-peace-offering to the Lord, and should open for himself the gate looking eastward, and offer his whole-burnt-offering, and his peace-offerings, as he does on the sabbath-day; then shall he go out, and shall shut the doors after he has gone out.

13 Me mahi e koe he tahunga tinana ki a Ihowa i tenei ra, i tenei ra, he reme, hei te tautahi, hei te kohakore: me mahi e koe i tenei ata, i tenei ata.

And he shall prepare daily as a whole-burnt-offering to the Lord a lamb of a year old without blemish: in the morning shall he prepare it.

14 Me mahi ano e koe he whakahere totokore hei kinaki i tenei ata, i tenei ata, te whakaono o te epa, me te whakatoru o te hine hinu, hei whakamakuku i te paraoa; he whakahere totokore ki a Ihowa, he mea e tuturu ana tona tikanga a ake ake.

And he shall prepare a freewill-offering for it in the morning, the sixth part of a measure [of flour], and a third part of a hin of oil to mix [therewith] the fine flour, [as] a freewill-offering to the Lord, a perpetual ordinance.

15 Ina, me mahi te reme, me te whakahere totokore, me te hinu i tenei ata, i tenei ata, hei tahunga tinana e tuturu tonu ana.

Ye shall prepare the lamb, and the freewill-offering, and the oil in the morning, [for] a perpetual whole-burnt-sacrifice.

16 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Ki te homai e te rangatira tetahi mea homai noa ki tetahi o ana tamariki, ka riro tera i ana tamariki; mo ratou tera, a tuku iho, tuku iho.

Thus saith the Lord God; If the prince shall give a gift to one of his sons out of his inheritance, this shall be to his sons a possession [as] an inheritance.

17 Tena, ki te hoatu tetahi wahi o tona kainga tupu ki tetahi o ana pononga, mana tera, a taea noatia te tau haere noa; katahi ka hoki ki te rangatira: mo ana tamariki ano ia tona wahi tupu hei wahi mo ratou.

But if he give a gift to one of his servants, then it shall belong to him until the year of release; and [then] he shall restore [it] to the prince: but of the inheritance of his sons [the possession] shall continue to them.

18 Kaua ano te rangatira e tango i tetahi wahi o to te iwi kainga tupu, he pei i a ratou i o ratou wahi; me homai e ia he wahi mo ana tamariki i roto i tona wahi ake; kei marara noa atu taku iwi i tona wahi, i tona wahi.

And the prince shall by no means take of the inheritance of the people, to oppress them: he shall give an inheritance to his sons out of his [own] possession: that my people be not scattered, every one from his possession.

19 Katahi ahau ka kawea e ia ki roto, i tika na te tomokanga i te taha o te kuwaha ki nga ruma tapu o nga tohunga, ki era e anga ana whaka te raki: na, ko tetahi wahi i reira i muri whaka te hauauru.

And he brought me into the entrance of the [place] behind the gate, into the chamber of the sanctuary belonging to the priests, that looks toward the north: and, behold, there was a place set apart.

20 Na ka mea ia ki ahau, Ko te wahi tenei e kohuatia ai e nga tohunga te whakahere mo te he, me te whakahere hara, ka tunua ano e ratou ki konei te whakaheretotokore; kei whakaputaina mai ki to waho marae whakatapu ai i te iwi.

And he said to me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass-offerings and the sin-offerings, and there shall they bake the meat-offering always; so as not to carry [them] out into the outer court, to sanctify the people.

21 Katahi ahau ka kawea e ia ki to waho marae; a ka meinga e ia kia tika na nga kokonga e wha o te marae; na ko tetahi marae i tetahi kokonga, i tetahi kokonga o te marae.

And he brought me into the outer court, and led me round upon the four sides of the court; and, behold, there was a court on [each of] the sides of the court,

22 He marae kei nga kokonga e wha o te marae, he mea karapoti mai, e wha tekau nga whatianga te roa, e toru tekau te whanui: ko enei e wha i nga kokonga, rite tonu te nui.

on [every] side a court, [even] a court for all the four [sides], and [each] little court belonging to the court was in length forty cubits, and [in] breadth thirty cubits, [there was] one measure to the four.

23 Na he rarangi whare kei aua marae a taka noa, i aua marae e wha a taka noa; i mahia ano etahi wahi mo nga kohua i raro i nga rarangi, a taka noa.

And [there were] chambers in them round about, round about the four, and cooking-places formed under the chambers round about.

24 Na ka mea ia ki ahau, Ko nga wahi enei o nga kohua, e kohuatia ai e nga minita o te whare te patunga tapu a te iwi.

And he said to me, These are the cooks' houses, where they that serve the house shall boil the sacrifices of the people.
